On Friday, workers removed the remaining sidewalk bridge and scaffolding from 132 E. Seventh St. at Avenue A ... where, you know, the 10-year-old Joe Strummer mural got blasted away... (We heard from Niagara insiders that the mural would return, we just didn't have the confirmation from ownership at the time.)
Well, workers repaired the crumbling wall where the Strummer mural lived...
By Saturday, the wall was being prepped...
And yesterday, as first noted, Dr. Revolt, the original artist, started work on the new mural.
According to a tweet from Malin, there will be a celebration party for the mural at Niagara on Thursday evening.

The painting is on a board affixed to the wall instead of being painted on the wall. Wasn't it on the brick last time?
I predict, sadly, that the finished painting will somehow get stolen.
Yeah, and won't the wood get warped? Wish it was on the brick but maybe they weren't allowed.
Ah, got it... So, it's not actually a mural. It's an "art" piece that will probably come down asap for the real-estate developers. (when the neighborhood "whiners" aren't looking).
...Great. (sigh)
